That is kinda sad unless he's talking about racing karts :) Those will out accelerate a bike & corner harder too. The "suspension" is just the flex of the frame itself, so good lines means you've only got 3 wheels on the ground when you hit the apex. They'll wear you out pretty quick once the fear & adrenaline ease up. Most fun I've ever had on 4-wheels.

yep. although I think if senna if he had not passed away there would have been some great races between a more seasoned schumacher and senna.  Back then, senna had his rivals in prost who was his perfect rival and mansell could out drive them both on occasions. Every now an then someone beets Schumi because his car is broken.


I remember watching the 1992 Silverstone GP.  When Senna ran out of gas, prolly the best race I've ever watched.   Then Mansell picked up Senna on the victory lap.

They have nice big trailers to relax in with their wifes and girlfriends that always seem to be models  in between practice,qualifying and racing. That and the smallest injury and their rushed to hospital and take the rest of the season off.

150Mph top speed and the twin cyl ones do 165mph.
Eddie Lawson at Laguna Seca was the fastest thing on the track exept the top class of American Le Mann's cars.
